What roles do humans and animal organisms play on the Earth?

Why Take This Course?

In Biology B, students dive into the diversity of Earth.

What was the Earth like long ago? How long ago did life appear on earth? What can fossils tell us? Was Darwin right? How has the human population changed over the centuries? How important is biodiversity? Do we really need to know about organisms we can’t even see? What part do these tiny entities play? In Biology B, we continue from Biology A learning about the diversity of life on our planet and gain a greater understanding and respect for Earth and its creatures, great and small.
